The Land of Hope

  • Photographer
    Kenji Chiga, Japan

One day , the village boys were playing with a cricket.
When I saw them I rememberd my childhood that I wanted to
become a football player.
I asked to one of them “Is your dream becoming a cricket
player?”.He answerd me "I from Bihar,so I can't become a cricket
player".
When I heard this answer , I was keenly aware that I am not in
Japan.
Then I began to take photos of a emotional face they show
occasionally , began to examine than before for even caste and
poverty.
I learned the achievements of Ambedkar and Sasai saint, I
understood their hopes.
I hope the day that they don't need to say "Because I from Bihar"
coming.
I'll go to meet them again and again untill that day coming.
